Not at all this concerns a senior RTP officer and his loss of face nothing more, the fact all parties are lying corrupt hypocrites just adds to the farce...

I don't get why you keep posting. Ok so everybody's corrupt. Including you.  We got the message. Have you anything else of any interest to add?

I would very much like to see actual evidence of this claim supported by independent scientific proofs. This is just more of the demonising rhetoric to support the govts. (aka Thaksin) push to recriminalise.

Quite agree. Where's the evidence of

"an alarming rise in psychiatric cases linked to the drug’s recreational use."

Complete fabrication. It's the medical professionals who are exhibiting profoundly paranoid symptoms. Delusional, imaginary demons attacking them. They can't deal with the effects of a drug so they ban it for everyone. And just what is medical use? Getting stoned under the supervision of some weirdo in charge of tightening the straps on your straight jacket?

This topic concerns the NACC. Nothing to do with the RTP. You've wasted a whole afternoon.

If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck guess what its a duck!!

 

Would a fair and un corrupt judiciary who knows would a corrupt and backward judiciary well I guess that would depend on the size of the envelope

 

Lets switch ignorance to naivete then I can agree you are! as previously stated if you believe the leadership of an openly corrupt institution isn't a bad 'un then I really can't help you...

I don't need your help. This topic concerns Hakparn's spat with the NACC, nothing to do with anything else. Like others here, you see his name and launch into an endless diatribe regarding the RTP. Totally off topic. Take it outside.

No idea what this means if it means don't argue with me as I believe I am right then guilty as charged I guess

You're right can't argue with that, I don't mean to be demeaning but the level of naivete displayed makes it difficult 

 

 

I know as much as you or anybody else I also know the RTP is a corrupt, lazy, thieving joke of an institution so anybody at the top is also that but worse

 

 

It's plainly not guilty by association he has been removed from post on numerous occasions, he freely admits paying off the press to write favourable coverage and also acts like a medieval warlord by surrounding his home with his hench men and minions

 

 

Whether I agree or disagree has no bearing on if I am a wanxer? do you mean <deleted> if so yep guilty as charged on occasion I am a male after all

 

Nope it is in fact a reasoned, though out argument backed up with personal experience and common knowledge of the buffoons in brown

 

I hope this clears things up, have a good 'un!!

You know nothing. What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. Your whole argument is based on the popularly held notion that the police here are corrupt, ergo every policeman is corrupt. But when you're pulled for eg a breath test, I bet you don't say it to their faces, do you? You have anonymity here. Thank your lucky stars. Just don't abuse it.

Yes I truly believe you are and I know as much as anybody else about the case you included!

 

What's beyond doubt is the RTP are a complete and utter shower of <deleted>e and anyone naive enough to believe otherwise despite overwhelming evidence is living in la la land, like I said I have a bridge for sale...

What exactly do you know, because nothing has been established as yet? Nothing. Your comments about the RTP are immaterial. This is about a single case. You think a judge would convict on the basis of what you put forward?? Utterly dumbfounding ignorance.

He's right the level of your naivety is scary, do you still believe in the Easter bunny?

 

The RTP is world renowned as a completely corrupt dysfunctional entity!

 

Are you telling us you truly believe one of their leaders, incidentally a man who freely admitted to paying the press for positive reports and acted like a kingpin by surrounding himself by his 'gang' is a shining beacon of light on a sea of corruption if so I have a bridge I can sell you....

And you can jump right off it. Don't gaslight me! Your comnents are demeaning, implying I am a fool for holding my beliefs. You don't know ANYTHING about his case. It's all just guilt by association. I'll suggest because you agree with certain people on this forum, that fact alone makes you a complete wanxer, ok? OK? Everybody knows etc etc etc. This is just a bs argument.

its make your mind up time,   First you said  " He is the policeman who enforced existing regulations and stopped corruption"

and now you are saying    ".Of course there is corruption, corruption occurs in every country in the world."

So which is it ?   You cannot have your cake and eat it  

What's the point of having it then? I guess you meant "You can't have it both ways".

It really isn't that hard unless you want it to be. Okay let's break it down and unpack it for you. Does it cost you more today than ti did before the pandemic? If yes, on what? Let's not get too fancy about the matter. There are other threads asking about  places in the USA where inflation is a big deal. So i  wonder how it compares. The USA is going through a terrible bout of inflation. 

That's to do with gas from excessive eating. 40% of Americans are obese. In Thailand, maybe 3%. Does that answer your question?

Actually, no I don't think prices have shot up. Meals cost roughly the same, maybe an extra THB or two for Thai food. But in Makro, pork has gone up, chicken not so much. Fruit and veg still reasonable in the markets. Avocados pricey at 120 THB per kilo for decent ones. Olive oil always expensive, coconut oil not so. Expat foods, butter, cheese, bacon etc etc pretty much the same. There are cheaper outlets and expensive ones. Can get a lot of decent stuff on line (picked beetroot, horseradish etc). Eggs have gone up but that's because I buy organic. I can pay up to 10 THB an egg. Normal CP price is about 4 THB I think for a tray of 36.

Rents have gone up, but remember they hit an all time low during COVID. I paid 5500 THB per month for a very decent ground floor one bedroom condo apartment 2 years ago. That's now 8, and is set to go higher every year.

Fuel has had a lot of government subsidies so hard to work out. Now it's hovering around 38/39 per litre of 91 octane. If you minimally ride a 125 scooter as I do, that's about 130 THB per week.

What else? Hmm. Girls have become a lot pricier, a friend tells me. Many freelancers quote 2000 as a starting price for an hour. You can get for less he says.

Don't go to bars and don't drink or smoke, so can't say. Dont use taxis, but Bolt is cheap and handy. Bus to Swampy from Pattaya still at 142 THB. Bargain. Taxi 1000 THB.

As for luxuries like spas and massage and the like, compared to Europe they're an absolute gift. Can still get a very decent foot or body Thai massage, no frills or funny business, but lots of laughter, for 120 THB in Pattaya Klang for an hour.

That's it! It's easy to live here too, most importantly, in Pattaya at least. Play the immigration game, obey the law, and don't mess with the IRS!

An after thought, medicines and medical stuff. My biggest monthly outlay by far is medical insurance. But the pharmacies here, especially the big chains like Fascino, are generally very economical and also helpful. Private hospitals aren't cheap but government ones are. Don't, whatever you do, think you can get away without some form of insurance, accident, inpatient, outpatient, or full medical. Too many horror stories to mention.

Quite the opposite. RTP leadership. Definitely highly guilty and totally suspect, until proven innocent. It is the very nature of the institution and humanity. Most people simply do not say no to billions of baht. 

Gonna have to cut you loose there, spider. You have yet to produce a shred of evidence he's banked billions of THB. And you're not alone. Nobody has! Or that he's guilty of any other misdemeanour. No news on the gambling front?

So basically you "like" him based purely on his media image,  which he doubtless has professional PR people taking care of.  That sounds more than a bit weird to me.  But then again I was never taken in by "celebrity culture"    The fact  is any support you may wish to give is limited to posting on here really,  so as such it doesn't really matter who you side with ,  why even bother?

Why bother what? Replying to you? Because you spout a lot of patronising rubbish about how anyone who doesn't see it your way is a naive child incapable of rational thought. And about the subject in question. I'm aware my "support" is pretty meaningless to him, but then why do people "support" Pita, the decriminalisation of weed, the imprisoned students etc etc. Or rail against Putin, or Trump, or Biden?

If you think taking on the NACC is just a publicity stunt, well, it could land him in big trouble if his allegations are unfounded. So it's not a celebrity thing. Sure, maybe he figures the best form of defense is attack. Well, let's hope he's right.

I don't really think he's in it for the money, I do think he's just another hi-so with a huge look at me syndrome! 

 

Another lying, hypocritical, corrupt pos who cares nothing whatsoever for the Thai people 

 

He's the same xenophobic creature that was actively paying off the press to write positive stuff about him whilst pretending to be a good guy 

 

He's clearly an entitled egomaniac produced by the Thai educational system and face first society 

 

In summary I reckon he's just another hi-so Thai that believes he's special. He has risen to the top of the RTP so he's must know it's a corrupt cesspit top to bottom yet chooses to ignore it

 

Absolute scum bag just like the rest of Thailand's higher echelons and some of you on here really need to give your heads a good wobble!

 

Ps. The Thai buffoons in brown are world renowned as corrupt, lazy, neer do well's so the whataboutery is blatant deflection 

Fruitcake anyone?

Nobody could ever convince me that a former head of immigration and recent deputy head of the RTP is and was straight. It is a near impossibility. He simply had a great PR machine, and like Trump he was a genius at creating a fiction, and misleading the people. Big Joke. The great imposter. 

Never change your tune eh, spider, despite coming up with nothing except he's a cop therefore he's bent. Great case you've got there. I'm sure any judge would convict on the basis of that nonsense. What can be asserted without proof can be dismissed without proof. Case dismissed!

First up, I wasn't answering you, I was answering another party who wanted to know where his wealth came from - the simple fact is,  his wife is wealthy plus he is being investigated at the moment - both you well know. 

Your advice to do some research and find enlightenment is typical troll material. You're wrong. No amount of research will come up as evidence for your false assertions. Which makes you a disinformant. He is not being investigated for unusual wealth, but for what look to me like trumped up allegations of links to gambling. Take your own advice and do some research.

There are absolutely no inherent obstacles standing in the way of bribing immigration or any other official in Thailand, This jokers "anti corruption" measures were limited to having immigration offices remove their tip boxes from the  prominent counter top positions they used to occupy.  Most tip boxes were simply moved under the counter temporarily,

I have no grudge against him personally, but for any on here  to actually  support him or claim he is some sort of angel displays a child like naivety and a laughter emoji is unfortunately the only appropriate response available at present,  Do these people also believe that politicians exist for the benefit of society ?  "to make a difference" ? judging my some of the gushing comments about "Pita" it would appear so.  I didn't realise such gullible souls still existed these days,  bless them.   

As usual, BP, you lay down the law about "anyone on here". You seem to have set yourself up as judge and jury. I'm not a child and I'm not naive. I freely admit to liking this guy. I object to your labelling me as a result. And as for being "gullible" for supporting Pita? Patronising rubbish. Do you have any better candidates than Hakparn and Pita for my support?
